Child Support
Denver Child Support Attorney
In Colorado, the amount of required child support is determined by guidelines set forth in the statutes. The exact level depends on the gross incomes of the parents and the number of overnights the child spends with each parent, adjusted for certain expenses such as medical insurance and daycare costs.
At Carolyn Moller Duncan, P.C., we understand that child support is more than just a financial issue and that many other factors are involved, including child custody and visitation.
We use all factors - including the guidelines and your specific circumstances - to advocate for a practical and positive child support order.

Negotiating a Positive Result
Mediation and negotiation are invaluable tools in child support cases because they allow for flexibility and creative problem solving. Whenever possible, attorney Carolyn Moller Duncan will use her negotiation skills to help reach a child support amount that is satisfactory to all parties. In the event an agreement cannot be obtained, she will fight for your interests in court.
Complex Child Support Issues
Some child support issues require much more work to resolve. For example, a parent cannot intentionally work at a lower-paying occupation to avoid paying child support. Occasionally, self-employed payers of child support seek to hide some of their income and avoid fulfilling their child support obligations.
Attorney Carolyn Moller Duncan has experience in these and other challenging child support matters. When necessary, she can call upon a forensic accountant or vocational expert who can provide testimony and support for a client's case.
Our firm also has experience in cases involving special needs children as well as military families. We will work energetically to protect your rights and achieve your goals.
Modifications in Child Support
At the time of separation, the court will set a temporary child support level, and with the divorce decree it will issue a permanent child support order. But in reality, this order is not really permanent.
If you have experienced a significant change in circumstances, Carolyn Moller Duncan, P.C. can usually obtain a child support modification for you in a timely and cost-effective manner.
